You pass under the beautiful 14th century gatehouse and down the yew tree lined drive in your bridal car or horse and carriage, with nervous excitement of what is to come. If having your ceremony at the venue, you make your way to either the beautiful Rose Garden or stunning 13th Century Undercroft where you will be greeted by the smiling faces of family and friends and best of all……. your partner. The registrar will conduct the ceremony for you to officially become a married couple.
After the Wedding Ceremony or arrival from the Church, you have your first chance as a married couple to greet all your guests and share with them Champagne and canapés on the broad gravel terrace overlooking the manors sunken pond.  Whilst your guests continue to wander through the idyllic gardens and across the manicured lawns and enjoy the water features, sculptures, streams and beautiful views down to the river and the sweeping countryside beyond, you have the opportunity for your photographs.
